Rajat Rawat - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Specialist at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Deployment agent that allows us to deploy out to various other servers but doesn't provide build automation
I would rate this solution as six out of ten. There isn't a big learning curve. It's a very straightforward and simple tool. It can be used anywhere to deploy your code or to configure files. I would recommend it, but there are already better tools in the market. We feel that it's probably not the best tool available, even though we have used it for quite some time. The automation with the REST APIs and other types of APIs isn't that great. There are some things you need to do manually to set up the tool. Other tools provide things you can do automatically through APIs. Inedo BuildMaster is a good tool if you want to have some deployments in your company. The problem is that it's a very limited tool and needs some additional features, like an approval based process for REST APIs. It only works for deployment-related things. These days, tools like Jenkins and DevOps are coming up with build automation. Because Inedo BuildMaster is a deployment-centered tool, you'll need to use a different tool for build automation, which makes it less likely to be used. If they work on that aspect, the solution would be better.

Automated pipelines have halved deployment time and allow developers to focus only on coding
The best features that Jenkins offers me are high customizability along with the support of Groovy language, which allows me to write my own functions and logic to deploy applications and configure the pipeline according to my use case. Its high integration capability with many plugins is also a significant advantage. For example, we have certain cloud functions running on Google Cloud Run, and we deploy those in the form of containers. Jenkins is highly integratable with Docker through plugins, so we installed those plugins in Jenkins and provided the credentials and logic for execution. Additionally, we have a Bitbucket environment and AWS deployments where we also use Jenkins' strong AWS plugins to deploy resources effectively. Thanks to these plugins, it's easy to deploy rather than creating custom logic. I have covered pretty much everything about the features of Jenkins.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Technical support is quick to respond. I haven't had any issues with them."
"Jenkins is a great solution if you're looking at automation because it reduces manual work and improves performance."
"Jenkins Job DSL plugin was a game changer for me personally."
"Jenkins allows us to automate deployment, so I no longer have to do it manually."
"The most valuable features of Jenkins are its ease of use and good plugins available, and you are able to connect to a lot of solutions."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"It's a powerful tool for CI/CD."
"We benefit from Kubernetes' ability to autoscale pods and use horizontal pod autoscalers to adjust the number of pods based on metrics like CPU or memory usage, ensuring efficient resource allocation and stability under load."
"Jenkins optimizes the CI/CD process, enhances automation, and ensures efficiency and management of our build and deployment pipeline."
 

Cons

"The documentation should be better. It should be very easy to call REST APIs, and the documentation has to be perfect for that."
"They should improve the Version Control tracking system in Jenkins."
"The UI of Jenkins could improve."
"We cannot change the ownership of any directory or file or any kind of directory."
"I sometimes face a bottleneck when installing the plugins on an offline machine. Mapping the dependencies and then installing the correct sequence of dependencies is a nightmare, and it took me two days to do it."
"One area for improvement would be the UI, which currently looks quite outdated and requires the user to go through too many steps."
"Jenkins can sometimes run slow, especially when restarting after a plugin installation or when returning from a pipeline view to the dashboard."
"I think an integrated help button, that respected the context of the change/work in hand, would be a worthwhile improvement."
"Sometimes you have Jenkins restarting because of OOM errors."
